Men’s college basketball fans in Oklahoma will have to wait a bit longer to see the first Bedlam contest of the year.
NORMAN — Having given it some real thought, it’s clear Oklahoma State has a secret weapon as Bedlam approaches Saturday evening and here it is:
Oklahoma State had to overcome injuries, a sluggish offense and an opposing mobile freshman quarterback to escape with a 20-18 win Saturday against Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas.
For the first time since 2015, Oklahoma State is undefeated through its first four games.
Long has Oklahoma State football been reliant on its offense to win football games in the Big 12 Conference, but with injuries at quarterback and along the offensive line, the Cowboys have turned to the defense for its clean start to the season.
It’s easy to see why Oklahoma State football faithful are enamoured with Mike Gundy. The longtime OSU football coach has turned the program around and made it a formidable force.
“Shock. Anger. Frustration. Determination.” That was the tweet by Oklahoma State senior athletic director of communications Kevin Klintworth.
STILLWATER — Eddie Sutton lived long enough to find out he is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, but not long enough to see his enshrinement.

Oklahoma Sooners
It’s not like the wins are coming easily for coach Sherri Coale’s Oklahoma women.

Fresh off the practice field, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley was all smiles.
Unlikely as it seemed after a 1-2 start, a sixth consecutive Big 12 championship is in play for Oklahoma when it visits Arlington, Texas Saturday.
Lincoln Riley, near the end of his fourth year as Oklahoma’s head coach, isn’t sure who he’d turn to for help if Bob Stoops, the longtime Sooner skipper he succeeded in 2017, wasn’t available.
Oklahoma strolls into the final stretch of the regular season with momentum matched by few, and the first College Football Playoff poll reflected that.

Imagine what the final score might have been had the Sooners not taken the second and third quarters off.
Thunder
Friday wasn’t the most memorable return home for the Norman North alum.
Here is the way two national outlets have portrayed what’s going on with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The rebuilding of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the wake of the trades of Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Jerami Grant is clearly on. However, tanking may be difficult.
Those fawning over Russell Westbrook’s time in Oklahoma City, apoplectic that cheering for him now means rooting for a different uniform and it’s all unimaginably horrible, are wrong.
The Thunder chose to take young potential rather than fill their most pressing need in the draft.
The Oklahoma City Thunder hold the 21st pick in the June 20 NBA draft and, of all the spots from which organization’s ever chosen, the 21st selection has been the most prolific.
The more things change, the more they stay the same for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Oklahoma City Thunder did their job Tuesday, winning their fifth straight game to close the regular season, topping Milwaukee 127-116.
A comrade fallen, the Thunder played the final quarter and a half with renewed purpose.
